Texan Gaines Reynolds Clore calls her paintings Visual Voices: Silent Journals. "All my paintings add up to a tapestry of my memory through flashbacks. They're interiors of the mind through landscapes." Clore staged a symposium at the National Museum of Women in the Arts of five African-American women artists and has recently been appointed to the national board of the Women's Caucus for Art. Shelly Wischhusen is from Tennessee and works at the Phillips Collection in exhibition design and installation. Her work is "intimately connected tot he people, art and events which fill her life." "My work derives energy from color, high, intense color," she says. This will be her third exhibition at the Susan Conway Carroll Gallery. **** *The Parish Gallery-Georgetown and the Strasburg Emporium-Georgetown are the latest to join the group of galleries in Canal Square, appearing to reflect a hopeful trend in Georgetown towards smaller art and antique galleries and shops.

Life-size photographic cutouts, drawn images, a wallpaper design, sound and text are the chief elements of Piper's installation.
